City of Morgantown

The City of Morgantown is the local government serving more than 30,000 residents and the wider community in Monongalia County. As the home of West Virginia University, Morgantown is a vibrant city where government, residents, and students work together to build a safe, welcoming, and forward-thinking community.

As a municipal government, we provide essential services that keep the city running, everything from public safety and public works to planning, and community programs. We also partner with volunteers, student organizations, and neighborhood groups on projects like park cleanups, community events, and local improvement efforts. Through these opportunities, students can gain hands-on experience, give back to the community, and see how local government works behind the scenes.
